Methylhydrate

[Hydro#1]

Hew crew,,I was just sitting here wondering if I can use Methylhyrate instead of Isopropanol for solvent oils production. If anyone has or knows if it will work. I also was wondering if it is safer then Iso, or more toxic. Any help would be awesome...

Thanks guys/gals

i cant help ya there bro never even heard of it but i always get good results making oil with butane;) im sure if its similar to butane it would work in theory. any thing that would break down oil. does this Methylhydrate come in small cans like butane and what exactly is it used for ???

hehe thats a new one for sure! im gonna try 100% ethanol soon! let us know how she smokes!:animbong:

Don't use it.

Methanol (methyl hydrate) can cause blindness when consumed.

You do not want that residual in your smoke if you fail to remove it all.

The idea is to use an organic solvent that will evaporate at a lower temp than THC/cannabinoids, right? Ethanol is probably one of the safer ideas, since it is in beer, wine, liquor...

Don't fuck with methanol tho man. Blindness would suck.

From Wikipedia:
Toxicity

Methanol is toxic by two mechanisms. Firstly, methanol (whether it enters the body by ingestion, inhalation, or absorption through the skin) can be fatal due to its CNS depressant properties in the same manner as ethanol poisoning. Secondly, in a process of toxication, it is metabolised to formic acid (which is present as the formate ion) via formaldehyde in a process initiated by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver. The reaction to formate proceeds completely, with no detectable formaldehyde remaining.[2]. Formate is toxic because it inhibits mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, causing the symptoms of hypoxia at cellular level, and also causing metabolic acidosis among a variety of other metabolic disturbances[3]. One of the common symptoms seen in methanol poisoning is permanent blindness by destruction of the optic nerve.[4] Fetal tissue will not tolerate methanol. If methanol has been ingested, a doctor should be contacted immediately. The usual fatal dose is 100–125 mL (4 fl oz). Toxic effects take hours to start, and effective antidotes can often prevent permanent damage. This is treated using ethanol or fomepizole.[5] Either of these drugs acts to slow down the action of alcohol dehydrogenase on methanol by means of competitive inhibition, so that it is excreted by the kidneys rather than being transformed into toxic metabolites.

The initial symptoms of methanol intoxication are those of central nervous system depression: headache, dizziness, nausea, lack of coordination, confusion, drowsiness, and with sufficiently large doses, unconsciousness and death. The initial symptoms of methanol exposure are usually less severe than the symptoms resulting from the ingestion of a similar quantity of ethanol.

Once the initial symptoms have passed, a second set of symptoms arises 10–as much as 30 hours after the initial exposure to methanol: blurring or complete loss of vision, together with acidosis. These symptoms result from the accumulation of toxic levels of formate in the bloodstream, and may progress to death by respiratory failure. The ester derivatives of methanol do not share this toxicity.

Ethanol is sometimes denatured (adulterated), and thus made undrinkable, by the addition of methanol. The result is known as methylated spirit or "meths" (UK use). (The latter should not be confused with meth, a common U.S. abbreviation for methamphetamine.)
